Jake Shields, Dana White, the UFC and a great big smile

White and Shields smiled for the cameras, and after a few seconds, White pointed to his chest and mouthed to the camera, "He's mine."

Surely there will be something of a more formal annoucement in the coming days (or at the post-fight press conference). Should Shields be joining the UFC, and there's no reason to think he's not, he'll likely drop down to welterweight and challenge Georges St-Pierre fairly soon.
